[Eat sh*t, you pathetic clown.]
Ah… this?!
Looking at that slightly humiliating message, Lin Jianjun's face instantly darkened.
He never expected…
That this would be the outcome?!
That brat Lin Xuan still hasn't forgiven him???
Why?
Lin Jianjun's mind was filled with confusion; he couldn't understand.
Logically speaking.
When he was kidnapped, Lin Xuan was willing to hand over an invaluable medical formula just to save him from the kidnappers.
This clearly proved that deep down, Lin Xuan still deeply loved his father.
In this situation.
After knowing that his biological father had come to reconcile, even humbling himself to write an apology letter…
Shouldn't Lin Xuan be moved to tears and forgive him?
And then immediately come out to welcome him in???
This should be the correct development of the plot!
But now…
"Sir, please leave immediately."
Seeing Lin Jianjun standing there in a daze, a few security guards frowned and urged him to leave.
"Leave? What kind of joke is this? Get lost, I need to talk to Xiaoxuan myself."
Snapping back to reality, Lin Jianjun, with a cold face, attempted to rush inside.
Lin Xuan was now his only biological son, and he was counting on him for retirement support!
Before achieving the goal of "fatherly love and filial piety," how could he just leave?!
"Apologies."
How could the security guards possibly let him barge in?
They exchanged glances.
Then they grabbed Lin Jianjun from both sides and carried him to the end of the road across the street.
They casually threw him into a random alley and turned away.
"How dare you!!!"
"You dare treat me like this?! Do you know who I am? My son won't let you off!"
Lin Jianjun fell face-first into the dirt, groaning in pain while shouting angrily.
In response, the security guards just sneered with disdain.
Having lost the Lin Corporation, Lin Jianjun was now nothing.
As for his only reliance, Mr. Lin?
Haha, the onlooker sees more clearly than the player.
Anyone with eyes could see…
That Lin Xuan had no intention of having any ties with this father anymore.
Only Lin Jianjun was still deluding himself.
Hmph, you reap what you sow!
The security guards sneered as they returned to the estate gate, keeping a wary eye on Lin Jianjun.
If he dared to continue making trouble, they wouldn't hold back anymore?!
"These damn lowly people!"
Lin Jianjun gritted his teeth in anger, his heart filled with hatred.
His hatred wasn't just directed at the Su family but also at that… unfilial son!!!
That ungrateful bastard, a wolf that couldn't be raised to be loyal.
I already apologized, why won't you forgive me?!!
As the saying goes: "To err is human."
Besides, I was just an innocent victim, the real culprits were that disgusting mother and son.
And I…
Only made the kind of mistake that any man might make…
Why can't I be given another chance???
Why must he keep clinging to these trivial past matters and refuse to let go???
Lin Jianjun's face turned red with anger, his teeth itching with resentment.
He really wanted to rush into the Su family estate, grab Lin Xuan by the collar, and loudly demand an explanation.
But after glancing at the security guards at the gate, who were vigilantly watching him.
He decided to temporarily abandon that thought, turned around, and left, planning to reconsider his approach…
2 and a half minutes later.
Lin Jianjun finally dragged his exhausted body back to the company headquarters.
As soon as he stepped inside the building.
He was immediately surrounded by a group of shareholders who had been waiting for him.
"Old Lin, how did it go? Did Young Master Lin forgive you?"
"We don't have time! We just received notice that the company is about to be suspended (bankrupt)."
"You have to understand, if the corporation really enters bankruptcy procedures…"
"Then all the stocks we're holding will become completely worthless junk shares, completely untradeable."
"There's an unexpected guest in the company. It's the mysterious person who has been continuously acquiring the other directors' shares recently."
"He's given us a final ultimatum. After today, he will stop acquiring shares of our company."
"If Young Master Lin is willing to help, then everything will turn out well…"
"But if he chooses to watch the company collapse, then we'll have no choice but to sell our shares as soon as possible."
"....."
The shareholders all talked over each other, making Lin Jianjun's head buzz with noise.
Already in a terrible mood, he roared at them to shut up and told them that Lin Xuan hadn't forgiven him.
Hearing this cruel outcome.
The shareholders were both confused and full of complaints.
"How could this happen? Old Lin, did you not humble yourself enough? Did you kneel and apologize?"
"Didn't I tell you to unconditionally transfer your shares to Young Master Lin? Logically, since it's free, he shouldn't refuse, right?"
"Could it be that you acted on your own again and made some unreasonable demands?"
"You are utterly useless, Lin Jianjun! All you do is ruin things!"
"You can't even handle such a simple task! You completely ruined a winning hand. Lin Jianjun, it would have been better if I were the chairman instead of you!"
"Sigh, hurry up and contact that guy… the one with the surname Ma. I want to sell my shares!"
"Before the company gets suspended, let's recover as much as we can."
"......"
The shareholders knew that at this point, there was no way to turn things around.
Therefore, their attitude towards Lin Jianjun had completely lost all respect.
They had all realized that Lin Xuan had absolutely no intention of forgiving this deadbeat father.
So, no matter how much they struggled, it was all futile…
Thus, several of them gave up hope, ignored Lin Jianjun completely, and started contacting Ma Yingzhe.
"Hey! I'm still here! What kind of attitude is this?"
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Lin Jianjun was extremely frustrated.
Thinking back to his glorious days, wherever he went, wasn't he always surrounded by people who followed his every word?
These very people used to be nothing but lapdogs, wagging their tails and begging before him!
Compared to now, it was a world of difference.
It really confirmed that saying…
"A fallen tiger will be bullied by dogs!!!"
Ding—
Just as Lin Jianjun was lamenting that the heavens had no eyes…
The elevator doors in the distance opened.
A man with a horse-like face and an ugly appearance walked out.
Huh~ Eh~~
Damn, this guy is ugly as hell~~
But he was dressed in expensive designer brands, looking quite powerful.
Just as this thought crossed Lin Jianjun's mind, several directors beside him eagerly ran up to greet the man.
"Boss Ma, you're here?"
"We've decided to sell our shares to you at the previously agreed price."
Hmm?!
Could this be the guy who…
Has been aggressively acquiring shares of my Lin Corporation lately?!
Lin Jianjun's eyes widened in an instant, staring hard at Ma Yingzhe.
He had no idea what this guy was up to.
Given the current state of the company…
Logically speaking.
Only a fool would buy these worthless shares at this point, right?
"Who are you? What exactly is your purpose in buying these soon-to-be worthless shares?"
Lin Jianjun's face darkened.
As he slowly approached Ma Yingzhe, he stared at him with suspicion, his tone unfriendly.
After all, no chairman would feel good seeing their company's shares being acquired so freely by an unknown party with unclear intentions.
Slap!!!
Before Ma Yingzhe could even respond, a director standing beside him suddenly raised his hand and gave Lin Jianjun a hard slap across the face.
At the same time, he stared at him coldly, as if looking at the murderer of his father:
"Old Lin… No, Lin Jianjun. I've tolerated you for far too long!"
"You better not mess up my deal, or don't blame me for what happens next."
As the saying goes: 'Cutting off a person's financial path is like killing their parents.'
Selling the shares quickly before Ma Yingzhe had second thoughts was the top priority.
What if he realized it was a bad deal and backed out?
As for what he planned to do with these shares…
That was none of their business!!!
Everyone was already anxious, afraid that Ma Yingzhe might change his mind.
But this damn bastard Lin Jianjun!!!
He actually said outright that these were worthless shares, which basically implied…
That these shares weren't worth much, or worse, were completely worthless.
This immediately crossed everyone's bottom line.
Slap slap slap!!!
Several shareholders rushed forward at once, settling old and new grudges together, pinning Lin Jianjun to the ground and beating him mercilessly.
"You f*cking think you're still the chairman, huh?"
"Damn it, I've hated your guts for a long time! You always made things difficult for me before—today, I finally get my revenge!"
"I'll beat you to death, you useless piece of trash! The reason the company ended up like this is entirely your fault! You have to take full responsibility!!!"
"That's right! If this idiot hadn't favored that illegitimate son, Young Master Lin wouldn't have abandoned the company to ruin!"
"What illegitimate son? Lin Hao isn't even his real son! This fool has been wearing a green hat for decades—Lin Jianjun, you're truly pathetic!"
"..."
In the past, people feared Lin Jianjun's position as chairman. Even if they were dissatisfied, they had to flatter and obey him.
But now the company was bankrupt—what the hell was this old man worth anymore?!!
Not far away.
Ma Yingzhe watched with a smirk.
He understood exactly what the shareholders were afraid of...
But this worked in his favor. Instead of him chasing after them to buy shares, they were now begging to sell.
Very soon.
Amidst Lin Jianjun's miserable screams.
Several directors successively signed the contracts, finalizing the transfer of shares.
After they happily left…
Ma Yingzhe walked up to Lin Jianjun, smiling as he helped him up.
"Who are you? What exactly do you want?"
Faced with the questioning, Ma Yingzhe shrugged indifferently and said casually:
"Me? You don't need to know who I am. You just need to know…"
"No one else besides me will be willing to buy your shares anymore…"
"The Lin Corporation is on the verge of bankruptcy!"
"I suggest you sell your shares to me. It might help ease your current miserable life. Don't you agree?"
"..."
Hearing this, Lin Jianjun hesitated.
He knew that without Lin Xuan's help, the company's bankruptcy was practically guaranteed.
And when that happened, the shares in his hands would truly become worthless.
"Alright then! If you don't agree, just pretend I never said anything."
Seeing that Lin Jianjun was still hesitating.
Ma Yingzhe looked indifferent, turned around decisively, and started walking away.
Even though he cared a lot about Lin Jianjun's shares.
After all, it was a full 55%—enough to hold a dominating stake in the Lin Corporation.
But at the negotiation table, whoever showed they cared too much first would lose the upper hand, allowing the other party to manipulate them.
This kind of rookie mistake was something Ma Yingzhe would never make.
Besides, he was absolutely sure that Lin Jianjun would call him back.
Because at this point, this was Lin Jianjun's only way out…
"Wait."
Sure enough…
Everything was under control!!!
Hearing the voice from behind, a smug look flashed in Ma Yingzhe's eyes…
Half an hour later.
Lin Jianjun walked out of the company doors, cursing under his breath.
After a round of back-and-forth negotiations, he had successfully sold all his shares.
Shares that were originally worth billions were now sold for only 8 million.
Grass. A plant.
凸(艹皿艹 ).
Lin Jianjun's veins bulged in anger. He raised his middle finger toward the building behind him, feeling like he had just lost billions.
But he had no choice…
He had initially planned to use his shares as leverage to regain his status as Lin Xuan's father.
But who knew that rebellious son wouldn't even recognize reality, refusing to restore their father-son relationship no matter what. It seemed unlikely he would ever agree to support him in retirement.
Lin Jianjun had to plan ahead—at least securing some money now so he wouldn't end up destitute.
If he didn't sell the shares now, in a little while, he might not even be able to get 800 yuan for them, let alone 8 million.
Thus, Lin Jianjun had no choice but to grit his teeth and sell off his precious asset.
As for Lin Xuan…
He would come up with another plan. One way or another, he had to restore their father-son relationship.
"Sigh, I really didn't expect this!"
"My dream of a business empire collapsed today…"
Looking back at the Lin Corporation building, Lin Jianjun's heart was filled with endless sorrow.
This was where his dream began, and also where his dream shattered…
Who would have thought that the once-powerful and arrogant chairman of Lin Corporation would end up in such a pitiful state?!
The Lin Corporation no longer carried the surname Lin—it now belonged to the Ma family.
Before, people online would praise him, calling him "Father Lin." But from today onward…
Perhaps now, only "Father Ma" remained!
